About the Authors. Some ink marks noted. This is a Report of the CSIS International Security Program. Joining CSIS in 2001, Murdock has completed studies on a range of defense and national security issues, including strategic planning, defense policy and governance, and U.S. nuclear weapons strategy and policy. He directed the four-phase study on Defense Department reform, Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: USG and Defense Reform for a New Strategic Era, which released reports in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. Murdock is currently leading several ?track two? dialogues on nuclear policy issues?one involving the United States, United Kingdom, and France, and the other involving the United States, South Korea, and Japan. He has completed studies on methodological approaches to building force-planning constructs and on nuclear posture implications of U.S. extended deterrence and assurance. He is the principal author of Improving the Practice of National Security Strategy: A New Approach for the Post?Cold War World and The Department of Defense and the Nuclear Mission in the 21st Century. He coauthored Revitalizing the U.S. Nuclear Deterrent and Nuclear Weapons in 21st Century U.S. National Security. Murdock taught military strategy & military innovation at the National War College. From 1995 to 2000, in the Office of the Air Force Chief of Staff, he was deputy special assistant to the chief for long range planning, he helped develop a strategic vision for the 2020 Air Force. Project Atom is a forward-looking, blue-sky review of U.S. nuclear strategy and posture in a 2025-2050 world in which nuclear weapons are still necessary. The report highlights and addresses the current deficit in national security attention paid to the continued relevance and importance of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture, provides a new open-source baseline for understanding the nuclear strategies of other countries, and offers a credible, intellectually tested, and nonpartisan range of options for the United States to consider in revising its own nuclear strategy. Project Atom took a competitive strategies approach to its zero-based, ?blue-sky? review of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture. Three independent think tank teams?the Stimson Center, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS ), and the National Institute for Public Policy (NI PP)?addressed the fundamental issues: ? What should U.S. nuclear strategy be for the new era, defined as 2025?2050? ? What U.S. nuclear posture is needed to support that strategy? Their analysis (which can be found in the appendices of this report) was unconstrained by current strategy (e.g., reducing the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. strategy) and current policy (e.g., the prohibition against new nuclear weapons or new nuclear capabilities), but was conducted within a common framework of assumptions about the future security environment, likely technological trends, and resource constraints. After leading the development of the common analytic framework and participating in the debate among the think tank teams, Clark Murdock drafted a recommended nuclear strategy and posture for 2025?2050, defended it at a half-day Project Atom working group meeting, consulted with additional experts, and drafted the study report. The competitive strategies approach, including the use of external (to the think tank teams) experts, was extremely helpful as he developed and refined the recommended nuclear strategy and posture. …

Staplebound. Zustand: Good. Xerox reproduction. Some pages numbered, illustration pages not numbered, total of 16 pages, printed one side per sheet. Footnotes. Stapled in the upper left corner. Pencil erasure residue on front cover. This paper describes a recent effort by the US Army Nuclear Agency to developed a balanced set of collateral damage guidelines. Figure 1 presents some previously used collateral damage criteria. A discussion of the underlying philosophy is contained as well as a description of how the guidelines are being implements in the FM 101-31 series of manuals. Finally, the use of the guidelines is illustrated with two examples: Target-Oriented Analysis and Preclusion-Oriented Analysis. The dissemination of this paper will provide advanced information on this critically important to the US Army. Capt. Warshawsky was also the principal author of The New Nuclear Radiation Casualty Criteria, Nuclear Notes Number 3. A Department of Defense definition of nuclear collateral damage has been stated as undesired damage or casualties produced by the effects from friendly nuclear weapons. According to Wikipedia: Collateral damage is any death, injury, or other damage inflicted on an unintended target. In American military terminology, it is used for the incidental killing or wounding of non-combatants or damage to non-combatant property during an attack on a legitimate military target. In US military terminology, the unintentional destruction of allied or neutral targets is called friendly fire. In this paper, Capt. Warshawsky asserted that "There is a need then for a set of mutually balanced criteria which are conscionable, understandable and, most important of all, practicable. To this end, the philosophy of first selecting a degree of injury or damage and then determining the associated level of effect was adopted. A five percent incidence of potentially hospitalizing injuries and a five percent incidence of moderate structural damage at the leading edge of a populated area are proposed as reasonable collateral damage guidelines.…
